AI Robot Companions & Romance

Anthony and Joshua recap the Oscars results and the moments that stood out, then pivot into a deeper conversation about where tech is heading next, especially the rise of AI companions and physical robots designed to reduce loneliness. They debate what it means when people start forming emotional bonds with machines, whether that helps or harms human connection, and how “personality” in AI tools changes the way we relate to them. The episode also touches on trust, influence, and the risks that come with powerful tech when the incentives behind it are not always aligned with the public.For more resources and for episode transcripts, head over to...https://blueboxdigital.com/podcast/Get an Audible 30 Day Free Trial and HELP THE SHOW!
